Hello & Welcome
I did not begin my career in a boardroom.
I began it on a flight line in the United States Air Force, moving cargo across continents and later training frontline leaders at Airman Leadership School.
Somewhere between logistics and instruction, I learned a truth that shaped my life: systems do not move organizations. People do.
My work today is focused on building disciplined, purpose-driven leaders who can shape culture, drive performance, and sustain impact beyond personality or position.
If leadership feels heavy, complex, or harder than it should be, you are not alone.
Let’s build it the right way.
My Story
I was not the kid teachers predicted would earn a doctorate.
High school felt mechanical. Directionless. I moved through the system without much belief in it, and my grades showed it. By my junior year, the only place that felt different was Air Force JROTC. There, for the first time, structure met purpose. During my senior year, I enlisted in the United States Air Force. Shortly after graduation, I entered basic training.
My early years were spent in air transportation, moving people and cargo across the globe. It was operational, fast, and unforgiving. You learned quickly that execution matters and excuses do not.
Then, around year seven, I was selected to teach at Airman Leadership School. A course designed to grow the next-level leaders within the Air Force. That assignment changed the trajectory of my life.
Standing in front of young Airmen preparing for their first leadership roles, I realized something uncomfortable: I understood logistics better than I understood people. How they thought. What motivated them. Why some thrived under pressure while others fractured.
I became obsessed with finding out.
For the next several years, I trained frontline leaders and watched transformation happen in real time. Confidence built. Discipline sharpened. Accountability matured. I was no longer moving cargo. I was helping shape leaders.
When I left the military five years later, the transition was harder than I expected. I did not yet know leadership development existed as a profession outside the service. I returned to supply chain roles and cycled through five jobs in just over two years, searching for alignment and meaning.
Eventually, a former military mentor brought me back into leadership development inside a large organization. The moment I stepped back into that work, I knew I had found my professional home.
Education followed a similar path.
I did not take to college naturally. I failed classes. I repaid tuition assistance. I resisted the traditional academic route for years. But when I found a format that matched my discipline and autonomy, everything shifted. Education became less about compliance and more about mastery.
Over 12 years, while working full-time and raising two children, I earned multiple degrees and certifications, culminating in a Doctor of Business Administration from the University of Missouri–St. Louis has an MBA from Quinnipiac University.
My path has not been linear. It has been iterative.
Fail. Adjust. Refocus. Advance.
​
Today, I bring more than two decades of leadership experience across military, corporate, and academic sectors. I have designed global leadership initiatives for organizations including Cigna, Peabody Energy, and Spectrum Brands. I have worked at the intersection of research and real-world execution, blending evidence-based leadership models with operational rigor.
As the founder of Future Point Innovations, my mission is clear: build leadership systems rooted in purpose, discipline, and culture that outlast charisma and trends.
Leadership is not noise. It is not personality. It is not hype.
It is sustained influence, built deliberately, over time.
​
That is the work I do.
